In recog'iiitioii of his willingness and cheer-
fulness in helping- each and every student, in
recognition of his enthusiasm and helpfulness
in all student activities, and in recognition of
his genuine interest in the school as a whole.

ELVIRA L. HOEPFNER
DIreetor of Piihlic Relations

Because of her willingness to sacrifice time
and effort to make this school year successful,
hecause of her spirit of cooperation and a
friendly understanding of each student, and
because of her unselfish loyalty to the school,

Lincoln College campus. Ground for this building was broken on
Abraham Lincoln's last living birthday. In it are found the science,
nmsic, and business departments.

othorwise known as the col-
lege gymnasinm, has been
the scene of many college
affairs, social and athletic.

Instead of the usual Friday night dances,
students decided to try something new this year
and planned for active evenings of sports, which
would include ping-pong, shuffleboard, volley
hall, basketball, and tumbling in the gym.

The first sports night, held November 18,
proved to be a great success, and other sports
nights followed.

In Februaiy, the freshmen challenged the
sophomores to a competitive evening of games
in which the sophomores proved to be the win-

ners. According to the rules, the freshmen
entertained the sophomores at a St, Patrick's
Day party at Harts House in March.

An all-school party and sports night con-
cluded the school's social activities on April 19,
This party included a weiner roast, held after
an exciting baseball game.

All these activities took place in Lynx Lair,

Harts House, residence ha.U for young women students of Lincoln, has been the center of many of

tlie college social affairs.

Harts House was officially opened when
We girls moved in with our luggage and, inci-
dentally, with our hoy fiiends' pictures. It
didn't take long for us to get acquainted with
our new rooms and roommates, who, when all
was said and done, were found to he Marihni
Atteherry, Phyllis Manus, sophomores; Flor-
ence Hardin, Geno Keltner, Mary Ellen Langan,
Mary lone Seeber, Marjorie Schlots, and Mary
Nell Hawes, freshmen. Our first party intro-
duced Us to the rest of the freshman class.

Some of tlie first things we learned to do
in our college careers were to short-sheet beds,
to beat the time dead-line, to learn and abide
by dorm rules, and to fix super-spreads.

Geno, Marjorie, Mary Nell, and Mary lone
chose weekends during the year when they en-
tertained the other dorm girls in their homes.
Each time one of our fellow men st\idents re-

ceived his call to one of the services, we enter-
tained him at dinner in the dorm. When Bill
Lusch left, we had a dinner at the Hotel Lin-
coln, but Mary Nell stole the show that evening
by announcing her marriage to Bus. Our last
big fling was a combination picnic which in-
cluded the fellows of "Murphy's Dorm" and
the Harts House girls.

As the year progressed, everyone learned
everyone else's troubles. At times, we had our
"ins and outs" and our "ups and downs," but
through them all we've remained friends, and
we have truly learned the meaning of "living
happily together," All in all, not one of the
girls would give up her dorm experiences, and
we have chalked this up as a successful year
indeed.

By far the busiest man on the Lincohi Col-
lege campus is Dr. William D. Copeland, presi-
dent of Lincoln College and English literature
instructor. Dr. Copeland has been very active
in helping organize the new Lincoln Study Class
and in contacting people for gifts for the Lin-
coln Room. Because of his interest in young-
people and because of his fine spirit of coopera-
tion, this year has been made one of the most
outstanding in the history of L. C.

A person who is usually hard to find
around the college is Miss Elvira Hoepfner,
who now has the job of Director of Public Re-
lations. However, she finds time to put out the
Lincoln College Alumni Bulletin and to super-
vise the Lincolniau. She is also responsible for
many of the activities around the college.

Our Registrar and Head of the Business
Department is Harry L. Sprague. Between
making out transcripts of grades and teaching
his many classes, Mr. Sprague finds time to
read the "best sellers."

Mrs. C. A. Balof is our Dean of Women,
as well as our English and history instructor.
This year, she is teacher of the new Lincoln
History Class.

Benjamin C. Moore is instructor of educa-
tion at the college. Proof that his pointers on
teaching have been good is shown by the num-

bei- of his students teaching in Logan county
schools.

Miss Josephine Hardy teaches foreign lan-
guages at Lincoln College. Her quiet, shy man-
ner makes her liked by all the students.

Behind Clarence A. Balof 's name one will
find the titles "Business Manager, Math and
Science Instructor, and Coach." He is a very
important man around school, since, as a part
of his duties, he "holds the purse strings."

Two people who provide all the music for
Lincoln College are Mr. and Mrs. Max Miranda.
High-lighting the choir's activity of the year is
the annual Christmas Vesper program, which
is under the direction of the Mirandas.

The Reverend Daniel E. Kerr teaches
courses in religious education, and he is also
the college Chaplain. His interesting weekly
chapel addresses have won him tlie friendship
of all the students.

Mrs. Minnie Houser has been the librarian
at the college for many years. She loves to
work with books; and this year, the new Lin-
coln Library and class have kept her very busy.

Considering its size, Lincoln College is ex-
ceptionally well-staffed with excellent insti'uc-
toi's in its many fields of study.

Because so many of our number were called to the
services, our sophomore class this year is one of the smallest
in the history of Lincoln College. Being small has, however,
proven an advantage, and this year has been made one
which will long remain in all of our memories.

We sophomores began our year by electing officers in
our first class meeting. To lead us we chose Helen Twomey.
president; Roberta Gayle, vice-president; Jane Turner, sec-
retary; and Marilyn Atteberry, treasurer. Miss Elvira Hoepf-
ner was elected clasg adviser.

We became acquainted with our lower classmen through
an impromptu program of entertainment at the first assem-
bly period, in which many of our sophomores took part
Helen Baker was given two high honors when she was
elected president of the Student Council and when she was
chosen Harvest Queea

Cooperating with the leaders, the sophomores took part
in the all-school masquerade, Doggy Day, Clean-Up Day,
Spiritual Emphasis Week, High School Day, the Gold Dig-
gers' Fling, numerous sports nights, and Activities Day,

They also took charge of initiation of freshmen and saw to
it that the freshmen paid the penalty for defying the tradi-
tion of the sophomore bench and for breaking the rules of
the wearing of green caps. Although the sophomores were
unsuccessful in planting the fruit cake this year, they were
successful in disappearing with the freshmen party refresh-
ments for the entire student body, as well as in having the
only lone class party of the year.

Following tradition, the sopnomores held their class ban-
quet at the Hotel Lincoln on the evening of May 12. Miss
Elvira Hoepfner, class adviser, and President and Mrs. Wil-
liam D. Copeland were guests.

With the baccalaureate services on May 14, followed by a
buffet luncheon for graduates at the home of the President
and his wife, and graduation exercises on May 15, the soph-
omores draw their year to a close. Although the sophomores
are happy to have completed two years of their college edu-
cation, they look forward to graduation with heavy hearts;
for they know that these two years spent at Lincoln College
are irreplaceable and soon will remain only as memories.

Pictured on the opposite page are the
members of the sophomore class. Be-
ginning at the top, and reading from
left to right, we shall name them and
shall give you a bit of their history.

ROBERTA GAYLE "Berta" was an
associate editor of the LINCOLNIAN,
vice-president of Foreign Relations
Club, and secretary-treasurer of A. W.
L. C. in her freshman year. This year
she has been co-editor of the LIN-
COLNIAN and treasurer of E. K. Ro-
berta's essay on the "Lineage and
Childhood of Abraham Lincoln" was
published in the LINCOLN STUDY
CLASS GAZETTE as winner in the
first Lincoln essay contest. Berta says,
"In ten years I'll be teaching — I hope."

JEAN SHEPLER "Bunky" says that
ten years from now she wants to be
taking a week-end trip to England.
Jean came to Lincoln College this year
from MacMurray College in Jackson-
ville. She is well known as the artist
and bridge player of the sophomore
class. She has been art editor for the
LINCOLNIAN, a member of the Stu-
dent Council, and secretary of the For-
eign Relations Club.

PHYLLIS MANUS "Phil" is one of
the two sophomores at the dorm, and,
incidentally, she favors the Navy Air
Corps. In ten years she hopes to be
married, and our guess would be that
she means to a former student of L. C.
Phyllis is secretary of A. W. L. C. this
year and is a member of E. K.

MARILYN ATTEBERRY 'X.yn" in-
tends to be "doing the least possible"
ten years from now. However, this
year Marilyn, along with Phyllis, is
helping to hold the sophomores' stand

at Harts House. Last year Marilyn
was secretary-treasurer at the dorm.
This year she has been a member of
Eikosi Korai and president of the As-
sociated Women.

JANE TURNER "Janey" states that
ten years from now she will be re-
cuperating from giving a book review.
She was associate editor of the LIN-
COLNIAN, vice-president of A. W. L.
C, and vice-president of the class. This
year she is co-editor of the LINCOLN-
IAN, corresponding secretary of E. K.,
secretary of the class, treasurer of the
Associated Women, and secretary of
the Student Council. Jane has also
been a member of the Foreign Rela-
tions Club and last year won the P.
E. O. prize for her essay on the sub-
ject, "What College Can Do For Me."

HELEN TWOMEY, better known as
"Bill," hopes to be producing the great-
est plays on Broadway in ten years.
This year "Bill" has been president of
Eikosi Korai, treasurer of the Student
Council, and president of the class. She
has also been a member of the For-
eign Relations Club.

HELEN BAKER "Sweety" says, "Ten
years from now I want to be washing
my airplane." Helen is the sophomore
gal who can really sew. If you don't
believe it, take a look at that black
formal. Last year Helen was secretary
of the freshman class. This year she
has been vice-president of E. K. and
president of the Student Council.
Helen was also chosen Harvest Queen
by popular vote of the student body.

HELEN FISHER "Fish" says that ten
years from now she "will not be teach-
ing school." Helen has been secretary

of E. K. and vice-president of the For-
eign Relations Club this year. She is
the only sophomore planning to go di-
rectly into the field of teaching.

GEORGE SMITH "Skippy," as
George is known, wants to go into the
chicken business, so ten years from
now he'll probably be running a chick-
en farm. "Skippy" is the only fellow
in the sophomore class; thus he has
won the title of "the sophomores' man."
Last year George sang in the choir
and was freshman debater on Activi-
ties Day. George has been a member
of the Foreign Relations Club both
years, and during his freshman year
he was treasurer of the organization.
George is also well-known for his ser-
enading.

MELVA JENSEN came all the way
from Grantsburg, Wisconsin, to attend
Lincoln College. Melva was a straight
A student last year and won first
place in the McKinley prizes awarded
to the outstanding student in the busi-
ness department. Each year Time
magazine sponsors a current affairs
test, and both this year and last year
Melva attained the highest score in the
class.

MISS ELVIRA HOEPFNER, some-
times known as "Elvyra," the Director
of Public Relations, says she will prob-
ably still be rubbing Sloan's liniment
on her sinuses ten years from now. As
sophomore class adviser she became
one of us. We all enjoyed cramming
into her car for whatever adventures
might be in store — and there were
plenty!

We, the Members of the Sophomore
Class, do declare this to be a true state-
ment of our desires, and have on this
12th day of May, 1944, filed this, our
last Will and Testament, among the
relics in the archives of Lincoln Col-
lege.

THE 1944 WHANGDOODLE
TOMMY, THE CAT

By Tommy "The Cat" Daniels

Travis Hardin just ambled up to the
campus with the mail which included
a miniature post card (reduced to meet
O. P. A. requirements to conserve
paper) from Jean Shepleur, famous
scalptorist who has just finished a bust
of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the present
President, now in the middle of his
sixth term.

Jean mentioned just having had a
banguer hair style at Phyllis Manus's
Suave Beaute Salon on Fifth Avenue,
where she entertains her elite clients
with an unusual barber shop quartet.
Incidentally, Phil got her start on Ac-
tivities Day in 1944, when she sang
"Genevieve, Sweet Genevieve."

Another of Phil's patrons is Melva
Jensen, New York model and Holly-
wood star. Her current hits are a't-
vertised in everything from Vogue to
Prairie Farmer. Melva's hair is pic-
tured in Halo ads, and her curves are
figured in Form Fit news.

All three of these notable gals have
been to the Ringling Brothers, Barnum,
and Bailey Circus, now showing at

Madison Square Garden in New York.
George Smith is the special attraction.
He's a snake charmer, and the young
ladies say that he charms more than
snakes. Remember how the dames
fought over him when he was the only
sophomore man?

Neither George nor Helen Fisher
stayed in the teaching profession very
long. Haven't you heard about Helen's
sad plight? The way I get it, Helen
slung a kid in a water trough and
didn't hang around to hear the racket.
Now she's a fugitive from justice, and
rumor has it that she's selling bananas
in a French settlement in South
America. After all her Spanish!

When Helen fled, the board of di-
rectors was left high and dry and had
to find another Helen to fill in. Helen
Baker, being the only available Helen
and a town loafer to boot (She owns
controlling stock in the Sherman Shop,
but she doesn't do much controlling.),
was hired on sight. I heard that even
the first graders have to take general
science out of a test tube.

When I was out on the campus with
George yesterday, Jane Turner walked

by on her way to work at the Lincoln
China Factory. She makes glue to put
together the broken pieces. Jane was
always good at those little mending
and patching deals, but I guess Fd
better quit making cracks.

Anyhow, she naturally had the latest
dope on Roberta Gayle. Wouldn't you
know she'd end up as a singer at the
New Purple Gardens, just south of
town? Roberta has companionship out
that way, 'cause Marilyn Atteberry got
tired of counting eggs and picked a
chicken. Now she has a little brood
of her own.

Jane and Berta just had a call from
Helen Twomey, president of the At-
lanta W. C. T. U., who recently re-
turned from San Francisco, where she
took inventory of the different flavors
of unlabeled wine in Jap ships. You
might know that Helen would be do-
ing her bit for humanity.

Well, now let's see — I guess that's all
the gossip I have about the Class of
'44. I'd better scamper off and see
about that bowl of milk which George
just set out for me. Bye for now!

riiclaunted by its size, the t'reshnian class
lias had a most exciting- year, one wliich will
never be forgotten by any of its members. The
first activity of the year was the election of
officers. Marvin (^ildwell was chosen presi-
dent; Mary Ellen Langan, vice-president; Cath-
erine Hannsen, secretary; Marjorie Schlots,
tronsnrer; and Mrs. C. A. Balof, advisei'.

As soon as classes began, the sophomoi'es
ordered tlie freshmen to buy and to wear green
caps. Following a great deal of healthy rivalry,
the frosh finally decided to be good sports, and
they wore their freshman caps until tlieir initia-
tion on Doggy Day. On this day they paid pen-
alties for their misdeeds and were baptized with
a mixture of vinegar and flour to become full-
fledged students of Lincoln College.

In a competitive sports night event, the
freshmen lost to the sophomores and set out to
provide a party for the upper classmen. Early
in the evening the freshies secured the prize
sophomore fruit cake and attained the honor
of being the first freshman class in history to
eat the fruit cake before it was buried.

On Hag and Jeep Day, the frosh came to

scliool looking, litei-ally, like hags and .jeeps,
but they gathered up their talent to provide a
varied pi'ogram to the sophomores during the
assembly pei-iod.

One member of the freshman class. Bill
Howell, attained the honor of being ci-owned
King of the Gold Diggers' Fling.

Six girls were initiated into Eikosi Korai,
and two others became pledges of this sorority.

Three freshman boys left their studies
when Uncle Sam called — Dean Rademaker to
the Coast Guard, Donald Awe to the Army, and
Bill Busch to the Naval Air Corps.

Mary Nell Hawes departed shortly after
the beginning of the second semester to be mar-
]-ied, and Dorothy Goff, Lavera Rolilfs, and
(Catherine Harmsen left school before the sec-
ond semester began.

In all school activities the freshmen have
co-operated splendidly ; and as they leave L. C.
this year, they look forward to the coming year,
determined to make it as successful as was the
one just concluded.

Student activities of Lincoln ('ollege are under the
direction of the many heads of organizations on the
campus. Leadino- and directing' them is the group known
as the Student (-ouncil.

The first meeting of the Student Council was held
Friday, September 10, 1943, at which time the following
officers were elected : President, Helen Baker ; Vice-presi-
dent, Marvin Caldwell; Secretary, Jane Turner; and
Treasui-er, Helen Twomey. Other members of the Student
Council chosen from each class were Rose Mary Peifer,
Doris Gehlbach, and Jean Shepler. President William D.
(^opeland was faculty adviser for the group.

During the school year the Harvest Dance, held on
October 30, and the Gold Diggers' Fling, held on March
30, were plaimed and organized by the Council. Special
features sponsored by this group included Doggy Day, a
Halloween masquerade, numerous sports nights programs,
Hag and Jeep Day, and Activities Day.

In all the above mentioned activities the rules were
established by the Council, and the actual carrying out
of orders was performed by each and every student on the
campus. The heads of the following organizations were
responsibh) for the successful culmination of these events.

Eikosi Korai, L. C.'s sorority, in which
every member is chosen for her leadership,
scholarship, willingness to cooperate, and loy-
alty to the school, celebrated its fourth year of
organization. This year the club was under the
leadership of Helen Twomey, president; Helen
Baker, vice-president ; Helen Fisher, secretary ;
Roberta Gayle, treasurer; Jane Turner, cor-
responding- secretary; and Mrs. C. A. Balof,
adviser.

The first event on the calendar for 1943-44
was a weiner roast, given for the A. W. L. C.
on September 24. At this gathering, the prin-
ciples and rules of Eikosi Korai were explained
so that non-members could be working toward
.membership.

The annual alumni potluck dinner was held
on November 5, in the club room, with thirty-
four girls present. Formal initiation was held
on November 19, at Harts House. In this meet-
ing Marilyn Atteberry, Melva Jensen, and Phyl-
lis Manus were made members.

On Tuesday, December 14, the club enter-
tained first grade children with a Christmas
party, in which, much to the delight of the visi-
tors, Santa Claus appeared and presented each
child with a toy, a useful gift, and candy and
fruit.

The Christmas tea for mothers of all Lin-

coln College students was held on December 3.
Here E. K, girls worked with women of A. W.
L. C, and all served as hostesses.

A formal dinner was held in the Old English
Room of the Hotel Lincoln on Monday, Febru-
ary 21, at 6 :30 in the evening. Following the
dinner, the girls attended the duo-piano concert
presented by Mrs. R. H. Milligan and Mrs.
Adams, of St. Louis, in the college chapel. On
February 22, Mrs. Clare Eldorado spoke to the
E. K. girls of her experiences in South Africa
and England.

The second formal initiation of members
took place on March 3, when Rose Mary Peifer,
Doris Gehlbach, and Mary Ellen Langan were
taken into the sorority. On April 26, the second
service flag was dedicated.

The last initiation of the year was held on
April 27, at Harts House. At this meeting Mary
lone Seeber, Margaret Coogan, and Marie Com-
stock were made members.

Officers for next year have been selected,
and this, the most attractive organization on
the L. C. campus, will next year be under the
guidance of the following leaders : President,
Rose Mary Peifer; vice-president, Doris Gehl-
bach ; secretary, Mary Ellen Langan ; treasurer,
Mary lone Seeber; corresponding secretary, .
Margaret Coogan.

The Foiei^'n Kolations Club of Lincoln
( 'Ollege is made up of students wlio are enrolled
in one or more of the language classes during-
the year. This is another of the active groups
holding' meetings regularly throughout the year.

At the first meeting of the club, the follow-
ing officers were elected: president, Bonita
Graham; vice-president, Helen Fisher; secre-
tary-treasurer, Jean Shepler; and the adviser,
Miss Josephine Hardy.

The club meetings were held on every sec-
ond and fourth Thursday of the month. During
the latter part of November and the first part
of December, several members gave brief sum-
mai'ies of the speeches given by the speakers on
the Institute of International Understanding
being held at the Colleg-e and sponsored by the
Rotary Oluln. Because the speeches given in

this series dealt chiefly with our i-elationships
with other countries of the world, they made
excellent topics for discussion in the Foreign
Relations ( Uub meetings.

The high-spot of the month of December
was the Christmas party which was held at
12:00 noon on December 16. This was in the
form of a noon luncheon with entertainment
following.

At the last two meetings of the club, held
April 6 and 27, Miss Hardy told the g'roup
about her trip abroad before the First World
War, describing the countries visited, the peo-
l^le, and types of entertainment found there.

The year's activities of the club were cul-

Each year, Lincoln College confers the
honor of placing upon the heads of one of its
young men and young women, the crowns and
titles of "King" and "Queen" of Lincoln Col-
lege. This year, tradition was defied, and the
queen was crowned at a newly instituted Har-
vest Dance in place of the regular May Festival ;
and the King was crowned at the regular Gold
Diggers' Fling. This year's honors were be-
stowed upon Helen Eaker and William "Bill"
Howell.

Helen Baker was crowned queen of the
Harvest Dance on October 30, by Jane Turner.
She was wheeled to the throne in the campus
push cart (which had been appropriately deco-
rated for the occasion) by Bill Howell and Don-
ald Awe. These young men, as well as Florence
Hardin and Helen Twomey, had been elected
by popular vote to be the queen's attendants.

Exactly four months later, on March 30,
and after an exciting campaign to elect the
king and his court for the Gold Diggers' Fling,
Bill Howell was chosen to rule over the biggest
dance of the school year. After the grand
march. Bill and his court of Marjorie Schlots,
Roberta Gayle, and Helen Twomey, marched
the length of the gym to the throne, where he

knelt to be crowned King of tlie Fling by Helen
Baker, president of the Student (^ouncil and
Harvest Oueen. For the occasion Lee Home-
b''oo'v and his orchestra had been obtained to
furnish the nmsic in a room decorated to rep-
re:-.ent a spring garden.

And so, with the school year ending, we
doff our hats to these, our monarchs of 1944,
and cry, "Hail to the King and Queen — Long
may they reign!" ■ — By Turnp:r

VVitli the completion of the Lincoln Room,
a Lincoln Study Class was formed in the fall,
with Mrs. C. A. Balof as the instructor.

Although the course entailed an extensive
study of certain phases of Lincoln's life, the
fall tei'm was hig-h-lighted with a visit to the
home of Dr. M. L. Houser in Peoria, and his
unusual Lincoln library.

All the girls wrote essays on the "Lineage
and Childhood of Abraham Lincoln;" and in
January, the Lincoln Study Class Gazette con-
tained the prize-winning essav bv Roberta
Gayle.

On February 11, Dr. William E. Baringer,
executive seci-etary of the Abraham Lincoln
Association in Springfield and author of Lin-
coln 's Rise to Poiver, was speaker on the annual
Lincoln Day program, at which time the Lincoln
Room was formally dedicated. Clarence Coch-
rane, of Davenport, Iowa, was one of the guests
jjresent that day.

Mrs. Henry Pond, historian for the restor-
ation of New Salem, gave three interesting
lectures on the New Salem period of Lincoln's
life on February 25. Mrs. Pond invited the
class to visit her home and New Salem State
Park in the spring; so on April 29, the class
spent a fascinating day examining historic
treasures which belonged to Mrs. Pond and in-
specting the buildings and grounds at New
Salem.

The class wrote second essays on "The
Indiana Years," for which prizes will be award-
ed on graduation day.

The Lincoln College choir, under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Max Miranda, has provided back-
ground for college activities during the entire
year. Though this year's choir was small, it
maintained the usual program of singing hymns
for chapel services and for special occasions.

The outstanding event of the year was the
annual Christmas Vesper service at the Meth-
odist Church, when the choir was augmented by
many friends and alumni. The customary sing-
ing of the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's
Messiah highlighted the ceremony.

The members this year have been Helen
Baker, Marvin Caldwell, Margaret Coogan,
Doris Gehlbach, Bonita Graham, Bill Johnson,
Geno Keltner, Mary lone Seeber, and Marjorie
Schlots. Max Miranda, piano and organ in-
structor, accompanied.

The Associated Women of Lincoln College, better known
as A. W. L. C, of which each young lady is automatically
a member, has been in charge of many of the events held
on the campus this year. Luncheons which' have been
planned on special occasions have been under the direction
of this group.

In November, Mrs. Nate Landauer gave an interesting
talk to the girls on new colors and styles in clothing for the
winter and spring seasons. In December, the A. W. L. C,
faculty, and E. K. gave a Christmas tea for the mothers of
college students. The committees for the occasion were par-
tially made up of Associ-
ated Women members.

On February 29, A. W. L.
C. entertained the school
with a Leap Year party at
Harts House. The young
ladies of this organization
also helped finance the new
Lincoln College Service
Flag, as well as contribut-
ing some time to the mak-
ing of it.

With the closing of the year and with the
publishing of the Annual, the time has come
for the presentation of bouquets and what-have-
you to those who have worked so willingly and
so whole-heartedly on the staff this year. As
adviser, I should like to award the following :

Orchids to the two editors, Roberta Gayle
and Jane Turner. These two young ladies put
in many extra hours and burned much mid-
night oil in planning, arranging, writing, and
re-writing the issues. Praise is certainly due
them for their fine spirit of cooperation and
for a job well-done.

Gardenias to Jean Shepler, Rose Mary
Peifer, and Doris Gehlbach. To Jean, for her
ever-readiness to illustrate articles at a mo-
ment's notice, to draw feature pages, such as
the ''Easter Bonnets" in the last issue, and to
write humorous features from time to time ; to
Rose Mary, for her well-written self-styled ar-
ticles which came in on the dot for each publi-
cation and which needed little, if any, retouch-
ing; and to Doris, for her willingness to be
"Johnny-on-the-spot" when it came time to
type and cut the stencils for each issue, as w^ell
as being ready to memeograph or slip-sheet
each page as it ran through the rollers.

Roses to Mary Ellen Langan, Mary lone
Seeber, Geno Keltner, Bonita Graham, and
Helen Baker for their handling of news of all
sorts, "Harts Hall Dorm Doodles," "Around
the Campus," Foreign Relations club and choir
news, and E. K. articles respectively. These
articles, though sometimes late in arriving,
were turned in in good style and helped keep
the students well-informed.

Sweet peas to Jim Graff and Bills Howell
and Busch for their work on the "Murphy
Dorm Doodles." Also to Bill Johnson who
worked with us during a part of the year on
feature stories and who also typed a bit. And
here, too, let us include Helen Twomey, Marilyn
Atteberry, Helen Fisher, and Margaret Coogan
who joined the regular staff to help in getting
out the Annual.

And last, but not least, a carnation to Mar-
jorie Schlots and Florence Hardin who helped
in illustrating and typing the first issues of the
Lincolnian.

And to the staff whole, a niche of

honor in L. C.'s Hall of Memories, because each
issue will record what has gone on in this spe-
cial year — your year at Lincoln College.
